Default Successful Splash Down Yesterday

Dayum I love this boat! I had almost forgotten how much an andrenaline rush this beast is at WOT!! Raced some cars that were crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel...and won.

Boys day out with a buddy and me. He brought beverages and a bottle of Startron and I bought gas. $300 for 80 gallons. Oh well, pay to play, eh?

You're a couple of weeks ahead of me.

Looking to get the boat out of storage this week.

Would have splashed long ago, but we have had 4 weekends of on and off rain and/or serious wind. Rain again today.

De winterized yesterday....ran for 15 seconds and sputtered and died. Thought it ran out of gas (empty tank over the winter) put 10 gal in it and tried again, same, looked at the fuel pressure gauge and figured 15 psi is not going to cut it. Pump runs but will not build pressure. 8 years isn't to bad to get out of an electric pump. Going down to the marina tomorrow to install a new cool fuel pump "Kit" to the tune of $300.00 plus And then its over to the gas dock
